James - JUNGLE JUMBLE


7 x 22 AcrylicClick Images to Enlarge

Dominique's theme is woods, forest, shadows, and other stuff like that. Well, when I lived in Costa Rica and before I had a blogspot, I had a regular website....Yimi Art. Dominique had somehow found that site and sent me a couple of E-Mails commenting and trying to get me to figure out a way to be able to leave comments directly on the site. I found blogspot shortly after and Dominique and Sheila were my first followers. So, since I first had contact with Dominique while I was in Costa Rica, I returned to the rainforest for my artwork in her sketchbook. Besides, I like painting parrots and frogs. And, confidentially,...I kinda identify with the monkeys. Hm-m-m, now where did I leave my banana?
P.S. I'm adding this after posting...I noticed I left out two important elements which I will add and have on the painting when I post it on my blog in a couple of days. OOPs, sorry.

  9. I love your fascination with animals, James and that you reflect it in your artwork. I too relate to monkeys! Haha My daughters are little monkeys, too, and I bought the first one a sock monkey when she was little to remind her that we would have "no more monkeys jumpin' on the bed!" (dream on)
    I also really love your frogs (I love frogs, period) and your birdies. In other words, I love this painting!
